You Know You're A Neat Freak When

Let's face it...it just has to be clean.

You Know You're A Neat Freak When
Cosmo UK

That's right, you know who you are! It starts of with a little bit of denial, but after a while, you'll come to terms with the fact that you are a neat freak. If you don't know that you're a neat freak, here are some signs that prove that you are.

1. Your room is always clean.


...and by "always clean," I really mean ALWAYS...everything is in it's place.

2. What's dirty to you is not dirty for others.


You leave one piece of clothing on the floor or you have to rush and leave without making your bed - it drives you wild and you tell your friends your room is dirty.

3. A dirty kitchen stresses you out.


You can't do anything else until the kitchen is clean.

4. You label things.


You put things in categories and make sure they're organized in a certain way.

5. You enjoy cleaning.


Washing and putting away dishes, mopping the floor, or reorganizing the tupperware is fun.

6. You have a specific way you organize your closet, room, and personal items.


Clothes are folded and separated based on type, color, etc.

7. You clean any time people come to visit.

It doesn't matter if the house is already quite clean, you still do it again anyways.

8. Your friends will always make fun of you.


They don't mean any harm, they just like to point out that you are usually much more organized than they tend to be.

9. You do most of the cleaning.

If you don't do it, you worry someone else might do it the wrong way.

10. You will clean for others.


You find yourself cleaning things for your friends.

11. People have to tell you to stop cleaning.


I once came over to my significant other's house and they caught me doing their dishes. They were confused and made me stop.

I know I'm a neat freak, but I've also been able to laugh about it with past and present roommates, and friends that know me all too well. There's no shame in it, as long as you loosen up a bit, shrug it off, and be yourself. Now...I gotta get back to reorganizing my bookshelf.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
